Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OneTake at 3.9 against Clapperboard's 2.1. OneTake also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.5). Clapperboard's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Clapperboard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and OneTake sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OneTake holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clapperboard has 40 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Clapperboard's written reviews are positive against 0% of OneTake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clapperboard ships an update every 3 months, OneTake every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
